Notice to Members -
Dec 12 Discussion of Finances:
[ click here to view ]
|
To the Christ Church Community:
The Executive Board of Christ Church invites you to join us on Sunday, December 12 for the seventh annual review of the financial affairs of the church, including the status of the 2010 budget and the preliminary version of the 2011 operating budget. We will bring the 2011 proposed budget to the congregation for a vote in mid-January. By that time, we expect to have sufficient information regarding pledges and operating requirements to give us all an accurate picture of 2011 prospects for income and expense. Prior to the meeting, we will provide documents for your review, including a current balance sheet detailing the church’s assets and liabilities, and a summary of 2010 and 2011 operating budget figures.
In addition to financial matters, this meeting will provide an opportunity for us to hear your questions, comments, and suggestions about any aspect of church affairs. The meeting will be held in Barnwell Hall after the first service. We look forward to seeing you there.

Our "Open and Affirming Declaration":
We believe that we are all part of God's creation and that we
are all sisters and brothers in God's family. We welcome and
affirm gay men and lesbian women into the life and leadership
of our congregation. We condemn all acts of violence against
people because of their sexual orientation.
To this end, we join the United Church of Christ Open &

Welcoming & Affirming congregations. And in the spirit of
this affirmation, we authorize our ministers to extend to gay
men and lesbians all of the blessings of life in our
congregation, including the blessing of same-sex unions.
